Maintenance Operative | Leeds | Residential Facilities
We're partnering with a leading residential rental operator in Leeds to find an experienced Maintenance Operative to join their on-site team at a large residential development featuring co-working space, gym, gardens, movie room, and car park facilities.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a hands-on, customer-focused maintenance professional to play a key role in delivering a five-star living experience for residents.
The Role
Reporting to the Facilities Manager, you'll be responsible for delivering planned, preventative, and reactive maintenance across the development, while providing outstanding customer service to residents, visitors, and contractors.

- Assist with general upkeep (cleaning, waste management, landscaping)
- Manage third-party contractors on site
- Respond to resident service requests within 24 hours
- Support and mentor new team members
- Get involved in the resident events programme
Hours: 40 hours per week over 5 days (including some Saturdays and public holidays on a rota basis, this will be a temporary role with options to go permanent.)
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Demonstrable experience in domestic plumbing, electrical, carpentry, building, or general maintenance
- Excellent customer relationship skills and attention to detail
- Clear, confident communicator (verbal and written)
- Basic IT skills, including MS Office and property management systems
- A team player with a positive, can-do attitude
- Able to work independently and flexibly, including some weekends/public holidays
Desirable:
- Experience in the private residential sector
- 18th Edition qualification (IEE Wiring Regulations)
